About the Fiber Matrix 6400 Switcher
W
The Fiber Matrix 6400 (figure 1-1) is a configurable matrix switcher that distributes
optical and electrical signals. Fiber optic I/O boards route signals that are
compatible with all Extron FOX 500 fiber optic product lines. SDI/HD-SDI I/O
boards route serial digital interface (SDI) and high definition serial digital interface
(HD-SDI) signals. The matrix switcher routes any input signal to any combination
of outputs. An optical input can be tied to optical and/or SDI/HD-SDI outputs
and an SDI/HD-SDI input can be tied to SDI/HD-SDI and/or optical outputs. The
matrix switcher can route multiple input/output configurations simultaneously.
The Fiber Matrix 6400’s fiber optic I/O boards output continuous invisible
light, which may be harmful and dangerous to the eyes; use with caution.
Do not look into the rear panel fiber optic cable connectors or into the

Fiber Matrix 6400 Switcher • Introduction
Figure 1-1 — Typical Fiber Matrix 6400 application
The Extron proprietary fiber optic signal, generated by FOX 500 transmitters,
can include video, stereo audio, and transmitter-to-receiver RS-232 serial
communications. The video component of the signal can be RGB video, Digital
Visual Interface (DVI) video, SDI/HD-SDI video, or low resolution video,
depending on the transmitter and receiver. The switcher has two internal, hotswappable 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 180-watt power supplies that provide
worldwide power compatibility and reliability.

The matrix switcher is a single box solution to complex fiber optic and/or
SDI/HD-SDI signal routing applications. Each input and output is individually
isolated and buffered, and any input(s) can be switched to any one or all outputs
with virtually no crosstalk or signal noise between channels.
The Fiber Matrix is assembled from individual input/output (I/O) boards.
switcher can include up to eight I/O boards, each of which supports 8 inputs by
8 outputs.
contractable, from an 8-input by 8-output matrix to a 64-input by 64-output matrix.
The matrix switcher inputs and outputs the optical signals that it routes on fiber
optic transceiver modules and the SDI/HD-SDI video signals on BNC connectors.
The matrix switcher can be remotely controlled via its rear panel RS-232/RS-422
Remote port, its rear panel LAN port, and its front panel Configuration (RS-232)
port using either Extron’s Windows
the Simple Instruction Set (SIS™). The SIS is a set of basic ASCII code commands
that provide simple control through a control system or PC without programming
long, obscure strings of code. SIS commands can be entered via either serial port.
The switcher can be operated remotely by any of the following connected to either
serial port:
Compatible optical signals are digital signals from 270 Mbs through 4.25 Gbps
that are sent and received via fiber optic small form factor pluggable (SFP)
modules. The Fiber Matrix 6400 supports all compatible optical signals,
whether transmitted or received by an Extron FOX system component or not.
The FOX 500 transmitter-to receiver communications, including the serial link,
occupy one matrix switcher input and output.
This matrix switcher also supports the FOX 500 return (receiver-to-transmitter)
serial communications, but returning this signal stream to the transmitter
occupies a separate matrix switcher input and output.

Fiber cable transmission modes
Two versions of Fiber Matrix switcher fiber optic I/O boards are documented in
this manual. They are categorized by the type of fiber optic cable, multimode or
singlemode, which defines the effective range of transmission:
• Multimode — Long distance, up to 150 m (450')
• Singlemode — Very long distance, up to 30 km (18.75 miles)
N
N
All transceiver modules on a fiber optic I/O board, as delivered from Extron, are
configured the same; either all multimode or all singlemode.
You can mix multimode and singlemode fiber optic I/O boards in a Fiber Matrix
switcher, but you must ensure that you connect the proper transmission mode
fiber cables to the board.

Introduction, cont’d
Definitions
The following terms, which apply to all Extron matrix switchers, are used
throughout this manual:
Tie — An input-to-output connection.
Set of ties — An input tied to two or more outputs. (An output can never be tied to
more than one input.)
Configuration — One or more ties or one or more sets of ties.
Current configuration — The configuration that is currently active in the switcher
(also called “configuration 0”).
Global memory preset — A configuration that has been stored. Up to 64 global
memory presets can be stored in memory. When a preset is retrieved from
memory, it becomes the current configuration. Presets can be saved and
recalled from the front panel and any of the serial or LAN ports. For front
panel operations, preset locations are assigned to the input buttons.
Room — A subset of outputs that are logically related to each other, as determined
by the operator. The switchers support up to 10 rooms, each of which can
consist of from 1 to 64 outputs.
Room memory preset — A configuration consisting of outputs in a single room that
has been stored. When a room preset is retrieved from memory, it becomes
the current configuration.
Features
Fiber optic inputs and outputs — With fiber optic I/O boards, the switchers input
and output fiber optic signals on optical connectors. The fiber optic I/O
boards support digital signals from 270 Mbs through 4.25 Gbps.
SDI, HD-SDI, or 3G-SDI inputs and outputs — With SDI/HD-SDI I/O boards, the
switchers input and output SDI and HD-SDI signals on BNC connectors. The
SDI/HD-SDI I/O boards support multi-rate SDI at rates up to 2.97 Gbps, and
comply with SMPTE 259M-C, 292M, 424M, and ITU digital video standards.
Cross-format compatibility —

fiber optic I/O board.
• AninputonaberopticI/Oboardcanbetiedtoanoutputonan
SDI/HD-SDI I/O board.
Switching flexibility — The switcher provides individually buffered, independent
matrix switched outputs.
• Tie any input to any or all outputs.
• Quick multiple tie — Multiple inputs can be switched to multiple outputs
simultaneously. This allows all displays (outputs) to change from source to
source at the same time.
Input link detection — In critical environments or unmanned, remote locations,
it may be vital to know that sources are active and switching. The switcher
confirms that input sources are active by detecting light. Link detection
provides instantaneous feedback via the switchers’ serial ports or LAN
port. The input information can be displayed on any control system or in a
Windows-based control program on a local-area network (LAN) or Internet
(IP) connection.

Rooming — The switcher can be programmed to group multiple outputs to specific
“rooms”, allowing them to have their own presets.
Operational reliability — The Fiber Matrix 6400 can support round-the-clock
operation in mission-critical applications, using a combination of hot-swappable
components and redundant power supplies.
• Field upgradable, hot-swappable modular design — The architecture of the
Fiber Matrix 6400 allows you to repair, upgrade, reconfigure, or expand the
matrix by simply installing a new I/O board or replacing a board of one type
with one of another. Hot-swappable components let you replace any I/O
board at any time — without powering down the switcher.
• Primary and redundant, hot-swappable power supplies — The hot-
swappable, externally mounted redundant power supply is configured to
automatically take over the load from the primary supply in the case of a
failure.
The complete power circuit, from the plug, through the power supply,
to the power’s insertion onto the power distribution plane, is separate
and redundant (figure 1-2). If the installation includes uninterruptible or
completely separate power sources, the switcher will remain powered up
through any power interruption short of a simultaneous loss of power on
both power sources.
Figure 1-2 — Redundant power supply backs up primary
The hot-swappable redundant power supply means zero downtime for the
switcher and no loss of functionality should one power supply fail. Should
a primary power supply fail, the redundant power supply immediately
assumes the load of the failed primary supply. A failed power supply is
easily replaceable from the rear at any time—without powering down the
matrix, and with no tools required.
Operational flexibility — Operations such as input/output selection and setting of
presets can be performed on the front panel or via the Ethernet or either serial
port link. The serial ports allow remote control via a PC or a control system.
The Ethernet link allows multiple remote links with two levels of password
protection.

Upgradeable firmware — The firmware that controls all switcher operation can
be upgraded in the field via RS-232/RS-422 or Ethernet, without taking the
switcher out of service. Firmware upgrades are available for download
on the Extron Web site, www.extron.com, and can be installed using the
Windows-based control/configuration program or the built-in HTML pages.
Labeling — Extron’s included button label software lets you create labels to place
in the front panel I/O buttons, with names, alphanumeric characters, or color
bitmaps for easy and intuitive input and output selection. Alternatively,
labels can be made with any Brother
Global memory presets
Rack mountability
Front panel security lockout modes (Executive mode) — If a matrix switcher is
installed in an open area, where operation by unauthorized personnel may
be a problem, a security lockout mode can be implemented. When the front
panel is locked, a special button combination or SIS command is required to
unlock the front panel controller and make the front panel fully operational.

UL guidelines
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the installation
of the Fiber Matrix into a rack.
1. Elevated operating ambient temperature — If the equipment installed in a
closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the
rack environment may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore,
install the Fiber Matrix in an environment compatible with the maximum
ambient temperature (Tma = +122 °F, +50 °C) specified by Extron.
2. Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in a rack so that the amount of air
flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
3. Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack so that a hazardous
condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
4. Circuit overloading — Connect the equipment to the supply circuit and
consider the effect that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent
protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment
nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
5. Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable grounding of rack-
mounted equipment. Pay particular attention to supply connections other
than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).

I/O boards
See figure 2-2. Each I/O board is identified by the input and output numbers supported
by the board position (1 - 8, 9 - 16, and so on). The transceiver modules on fiber optic
I/O boards and the BNC connectors on SDI/HD-SDI boards are identified as A through H.
Figure 2-2 — Arrangement of inputs and outputs on the I/O boards
Locations A through H correspond to the input and output numbers identified
by the board position numbers. (For example, the input and output numbers
supported by the I/O board in location 17 - 24 are as follows: A = 17, B = 18, C = 19,
D = 20, E = 21, F = 22, G = 23, and H = 24.)
On the fiber optic I/O boards, locations A through H correspond to the transceiver
modules, each of which includes an input and an output. Therefore, locations A
through H are numbered from left to right.
On the SDI/HD-SDI I/O boards, inputs and outputs are grouped separately, with
inputs A through H on the left and outputs A through H on the right.

Ensure that you use the proper fiber cable for your I/O board. Typically, singlemode
fiber has a yellow jacket and multimode cable has an orange jacket.
Unlike the FOX 500 transmitters and receivers, which output an optical stream
on one connector in a block and receive a return optical stream on the second
connector in the same block, the Fiber Matrix 6400 uses one connector on the block as

Figure 2-6 — Front panel configuration port
Configuration port — This 2.5 mm mini stereo jack serves the same serial
a
communications function as the rear panel Remote port, but it is easier
to access than the rear port after the matrix switcher has been installed
and cabled. The optional 9-pin D to 2.5 mm mini jack TRS RS-232 cable,
part #70-335-01 (figure 2-7), can be used for this connection.

N
This port is independent of the rear panel Remote port and is not affected by
changes to the rear panel port’s protocol. This front panel port’s protocol can be
changed under SIS command control only. See the Command/Response table for
IP-specific SIS commands, in chapter 4, “Programmer’s Guide”, to configure all
ports under SIS control.
N
A front panel Configuration port connection and a rear panel Remote port
connection can both be active at the same time.

Installation, cont’d
This port is RS-232 only, with its default protocols as follows:
• 9600baud • noparity • 8databits
• 1stopbit • noowcontrol
N
The maximum distances from the matrix switcher to the controlling device
can vary up to 200 feet (61 m). Factors such as cable gauge, baud rates,
environment, and output levels (from the switcher and the controlling device)
all affect transmission distance. Distances of about 50 feet (15 m) are typically
not a problem. In some cases the matrix switcher may be capable of serial
communications via RS-232 up to 250 feet (76 m) away.
